The idea
Some transitions add a point, such as also, furthermore and in addition; others introduce an example, such as for example, for instance and specifically.
In practice
"Tuition has risen. In addition, fees have doubled" adds; "Costs have risen. For example, lab fees doubled" illustrates.
Where people slip
For example promises an instance of the point already made; use it only when one follows.
